Abstract

Human milk is normally contaminated with various microorganisms, which seem to produce no ill effects. A contamination of hand-expressed and pump-expressed human milk is a major concern in the collection of storage milk. In this study we compared milks collected by two methods, hand expression and suction breast pump, to quantify differences in the degree of bacterial contamination. Thirty-one samples had been manually expressed. The mean of total bacterial counts was 10,600 CFU/mL (range: 360 ∼59,200 CFU/mL) and coliform counts was 43 CFU/mL (range: 20 ∼ 1,060 CFU/mL) in these samples. Whereas in the 118 breast pump-expressed samples, the mean of total bacterial counts was 20,200 CFU/mL (range: 240 ∼ 492,000 CFU/mL) and coliform counts was 158 CFU/mL (range: 4∼10,600 CFU/mL). There was no bacterial growth when the samples were incubated for 10 days at 4$\^{C}$. We also compared total bacterial growth in colostrum and in matured human milk for 24 hr at 20$\^{C}$ and 30$\^{C}$. Although bacterial growth had not shown for 24 hr at 20$\^{C}$, but shown slight growth in colostrum and rapidly increase in matured human milk for 24 hr at 30$\^{C}$. The coliform bacteria in all samples, particulary in formula milk, had grown at 20$\^{C}$ and 30$\^{C}$.

본 연구는 손착유 모유와 breast-pump에 의한 기계착유모유 중의 총균수와 대장균수를 검사하고 또한 냉장 및 실온보존에 따른 모유(초유, 성숙유)와 환원조제분유의 저장성을 파악하고자 시험하였다. 시험 결과 breast-pump로 수집한 모유 중의 총균수는 2.02$\times$$10^4$CFU/mL로 손착유에 의한 총균수 1.06$\times$$10^4$ CFU/mL보다 약 2배 가량 많이 나타났으며 특히 대장균의 경우, 손착유에 의한 감염율이 12.9%인 반면 breast-pump로 수집한 모유의 감염율은 19.5%로 높게 나타났다. 또한 모유와 환원조제분유를 냉장(4$^{\circ}C$) 및 실온(2$0^{\circ}C$, 3$0^{\circ}C$)상태에서 보존하면서 총균수와 대장균수의 변화를 시험한 결과, 4$^{\circ}C$에서 대장균수의 변화는 10일 동안 뚜렷한 변화를 보이지 않았으며 총균수는 지속적으로 약간 감소하는 경향을 나타냈다. 2$0^{\circ}C$에서 총균수의 변화는 모유 성숙유와 모유 초유에서 뚜렷한 증가 추세를 보이지 않았으나 대장균의 경우 지속적인 증가 추세를 보였으며, 특히 환원조제분유에서 대장균수는 12시간 이후 급속히 증가하는 경향을 나타냈다. 3$0^{\circ}C$에서 총균수의 변화는 모유 성숙유의 경우 12시간 이후 급속히 증가하는 경향을 보였으나 모유 초유의 경우 뚜렷한 증가 추세를 보여주지 않았다. 반면에 환원조제분유는 6시간 이후 급속히 증가하는 추세를 나타냈다.
